Nitrous Oxide Injection

Chemical boost system that injects nitrous oxide (N₂O) into the engine intake for temporary power increases. Models tank capacity, arming, and injection state.

Chemical boost system that injects nitrous oxide (N₂O) into the engine intake for temporary, significant power increases. Models tank capacity, arming logic, and injection state. Typically a sub-module of the Combustion Engine.

Public API

VariableTypeDescription
isExistingbooleanWhether a nitrous system is installed on this engine.
isArmedbooleanWhether the system is armed (ready to inject when triggered).
isActivebooleanWhether nitrous is currently being injected.

Hooks

HookDescription
initInitializes the N₂O system from JBeam data and links to the parent engine device.
updateGFXUpdates injection state, tank level, and UI feedback each frame.

Usage Example

-- Access via the engine device
local engine = powertrain.getDevice("mainEngine")
if engine.nitrousOxide and engine.nitrousOxide.isExisting then
  -- Arm the system
  engine.nitrousOxide.isArmed = true
end

Multi-Shaft

Powertrain device that connects multiple rotational shafts together. Distributes torque across several outputs, used for complex drivetrain layouts like multi-axle trucks.

Powertrain Base Device

Base class inherited by all powertrain components. Provides common methods for locking, disabling, and querying device state. Every powertrain device shares these properties.
